Trunk or Treat!

Trunk or Treat was so fun this year. Lorelai and a few of her bf's all showed up in black. Not planned, but super cute!Reid is so southern. He drinks his cornbread out of a glass.
The whole group. Not super organized, but everyone looked awesome. Everyone was creative and that always makes it more fun!
My not so great attempt at a family shot. Eric was already outside and Reid was not interested in posing when he could be outside getting candy!
Eric had a line as usual.
Eric was much happier than he looked in this shot. A woman that came was actually so impressed that she booked him for her son's birthday party!
Batman and Sandra Dee.
I took some pictures of my primary kids too! They were just too cute!

Hannah and Savannah. Those are some cute chicks :)
This is Mark's candy face.
Leila the butterfly loved her giraffe.
Esther was a beautiful princess who loved her purple kitty.
There's no stopping my Robin now that he has a sword.
My munchkins all sat on the curb and started eating as soon as they got finished walking around. They needed something to do while Daddy finished making balloons. :) Pete was making faces in the background.
I saved the best for last! This was after ONE little kit kat.
All in all it was an awesome night! Everyone had a great time!

Who needs sleep?

I just love taking pictures of my sleeping babies.They are so peaceful. I thought I would go ahead a share since I'm getting quite the collection. :)

I have super sleepers!I think the other kids must have been making too much noise.
Reid didn't make it through dinner.
Sometimes it's contagious.
Good job Grandpa.

My big 7 year old

My handsome boy is SEVEN! I have a whole year to rhyme about Evan from heaven being seven! :)
So, what about my little angel? Evan has a wonderful innocence about him. He is so smart and is constantly doing things that leave me stunned. He is in the top reading group at school, and rarely comes home with less than 100% on his papers. Evan loves his teacher and she has really been fantastic for him. His first report card was perfect! Here is some of the work that Evan is particularly proud of.

Evan has also been getting better and better at tae kwon do. He is now a green belt and will begin sparing at the end of this month. It is so cool to see him shouting out answers and learning new things. He loves to show everyone his double knife hand and various other cool things.

Here are a few of my favorite pics of my little angel. I don't know what I'd do without him.
My handsome boy with my handsome baby. He's such a good brother!
So brave.
Geronimo!

WALL*E Party

We love this little robot. The kids thought the giant bounce house WALL-E was even better than the original. The guys that set it up were great. That had this guy up in about 5 minutes.
All the kids were eaten by WALL-E! They loved every minute of it (except Leiala, whom I had to carry out).
Evan with Q.Q. and Adam. These are two of Evan's favorite buddies.
Logan loved this balloon. It was supposed to be Evan's, but once Logan set eyes on it he didn't want to give it up for anything.
We grew our own pizza for the party. :)
Unfortunately, Reid didn't think the pizza looked as good as the candle.
Everyone else enjoyed their home grown pizza!

I usually only get pics of the little ones, but adults are cute too! (And they hold still)
So what did Eric do for most of the party? I'll give you one guess.
It must be time for cake when the kids start playing their favorite game, get John.
WALL-E cake!
Tastes good!
Evan was spoiled as usual!

The Booth

Here it is! The booth that I've been planning for the last month! I had awesome help setting everything up. Eric made the prizes and the ticket containers.

We ended up staying at the Carnival from 4:00 until well after 9:00. It was a long night, but the kids had a blast! I was not great about taking pictures, but here are a few things the kids did that night.

First stop, the giant slide. Here's Evan:
Lorelai:
And here is Reid trying to climb back down after he got to the top:
Evan eventually "convinced" him to come down, but it was close. I thought I was going to have to climb up there myself.

Evan climbed the rock wall, but found out it's a lot harder when you don't have shoes on. :)
Reid was much happier in a bounce house.
Evan's class booth was the pony rides so everyone took a turn!
Lorelai didn't look at daddy for her picture and the lady forgot to stop.
Then the fun part ;) Cleaning everything up! Here is my messy van with everything taken apart and put up.
Lorelai got the ticket box to wear as a hat.

And here is my little trooper at the end of the night.
I love this guy! He was so great. We bribed him with dum dum suckers and he was awesome all night!
